Tuesday Thoughts

Yesterday was therapy day and I had the most amazing conversation with my therapist. She ask me all the things I had going on, but most were the things I dream about. I said things like, “I had a dream that I was speaking to a room full of people”, or “I had a dream that I was on Oprah”. I talked about things I dreamed about doing, but not about what I was doing. Then she said to me, “why can’t you go find people to talk with”, “why are your dreams being suppressed”?

I didn’t know how to answer this, why am I not living my dreams yet? I’m so fortunate enough to be in recover and embarking on another stage of my life, that I believe will lead me to the destination where I can find my purpose. So what’s holding me back, what’s holding you back? Sometimes I just feel scared, I spent so long being in this dark place. I truly don’t know what it will feel like to be so happy and living out my dreams. The fear of failure is also very real in my mind, so please don’t let this be you. Find those old journals were you wrote down your dreams and see if you have accomplished them. If not then, ask yourself why the hell not? Let’s take risk like we use too, when we were young and start realising our dreams! What could be holding you back? You never know who will be inspired with you just taking the first step!
